<v Speaker 2>One of the biggest global superstars? Like, because you know,

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.839
<v Speaker 2>Africa in itself, I believe it's a global country. The

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 2>music that comes from Africa goes globally. I would say

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:10.160
<v Speaker 2>United States music, it can go globally, but for some reason,

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>when music comes out of Africa, bro, like it literally

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:15.479
<v Speaker 2>goes around the world.

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because so diverse, because even if you look at

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 3>like even I'm wrong, No, no, you're right, you're right right,

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 3>like I've been I'm talking about. We be in America

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.840
<v Speaker 3>and then okay, just just just an example, I don't

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 3>want to say who. Let me just be an example

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 3>big a least a list artists in America that we

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 3>do a show. Let's just say it's a summer jab

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 3>in America, and then it's like they big. I'm big too,

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 3>but like it's your it's your time, you got it.

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 3>And then we get out the country and I'm like, yeah, yo,

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 3>it was It's an exact situation that happened like that.

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.159
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to say who because my dog, but

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 3>it was in America and whatever whatever happened. Then we

0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 3>got to Europe and then he's seen it like it's

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 3>his city, like he's like, yo, I ain't going to

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.039
<v Speaker 3>I ain't going, I ain't going after the I'm going

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:06.599
<v Speaker 3>before him.

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>So it be it'd be diverse.

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 3>And even when like y G. Marley came to Nigeria.

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:13.919
<v Speaker 3>You know, he's on my first record, I will care record,

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.599
<v Speaker 3>I told you, and he came back home and he

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 3>was just like seeing the love and how we live

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 3>he was. He was like, boy, if if I had

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.840
<v Speaker 3>this kind of love, I never leave. Like, you know

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:27.840
<v Speaker 3>what I'm saying, We don't get that in where Jamaica.

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 3>We don't get that in America. You know what I'm saying.

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 3>But it's always loved. You know what I'm saying. That

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:32.800
<v Speaker 3>the sound is global and.

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>It's a natural sound.

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 3>We don't really sample, we don't really you know, we're

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 3>doing this from a scratch, like we bring from a scratch.

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.159
<v Speaker 3>And also a lot of people there's a lot of

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.359
<v Speaker 3>Africans around the world. Everywhere you go. Everybody got an

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 3>African friend. It's African food everywhere. It's just the culture

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 3>it's gotta be like that. Sometimes even at the airport,

0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:23.680
<v Speaker 3>I got sneak out the airport. I got sneak in

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:27.920
<v Speaker 3>in the airport. If I don't go private, I really

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.439
<v Speaker 3>can't do nothing. Man, I'll just be at the criball

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:31.480
<v Speaker 3>just in Atlanta.

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 4>Now, how you get this Puma deal?

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, funny enough.

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 3>It just actually just came as a It just came

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 3>from like my lady that I knew, she worked for

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 3>Puma as like a consultant. So they were really trying

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 3>to just really get infl people influential in Africa to

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:53.960
<v Speaker 3>just like do a campaign and stuff. So at first

0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 3>it was just a campaign. And then when I did

0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 3>the campaign, they saw how lit I made stuff get

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.120
<v Speaker 3>and it was like, you know what, we're trying to

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 3>go the whole way. Like they flew me out to Germany.

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.000
<v Speaker 3>I was with the top Top, the number one guy.

0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.080
<v Speaker 3>I was there for like three days in Germany at

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 3>the Puma facility. They gave us sweets. We was chilling,

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 3>and they just saw the the the excitement from the

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 3>fans and the the hype and the whole thing, and

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 3>they were like, Yo, we want to go the full way,

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.839
<v Speaker 3>Like we want to give your own clothing line, you

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 3>on a collection all that. So that's how it actually

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 3>formed into that because it was a little partnership at first,

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 3>and then it grew to be like huge, Like I

0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:37.760
<v Speaker 3>got my own you know what I'm saying. We actually

0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 3>business partners. Now my boy Memphis is Puma. This is

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 3>not my collection. I don't know.

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:47.480
<v Speaker 4>But you gotta bring us some clothes.

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.160

<v Speaker 3>of like even like with like college, even like with artists,

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.079
<v Speaker 3>and they.

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Call you a FaceTime me.

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't like talking on the phone. That's how I am.

0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.960
<v Speaker 3>I've been like that since before I made money. Like,

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't like just being on I'd rather just text,

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:07.440
<v Speaker 3>text or meet up or something. That phone call. I

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:08.120
<v Speaker 3>do not like it.

0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Face time is even worse.

0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.200
<v Speaker 3>So what I would notice that these Americans, the artists

0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 3>they love, they only do face time. And if I

0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.479

0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:26.599
<v Speaker 5>Nobody can't tap a face that's another reason why.

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:27.720

<v Speaker 3>Definitely, but it's gonna be an amazing show. So many

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:48.640

<v Speaker 3>I bring to these venues that can perform there on

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:56.520
